Lady Darling Vexes a Villain - Paperback

by Colleen Gleason (Author)

The incomparable Lady Darling returns in her second adventure with Beatrice, her reticule-sized poodle, in tow as she sets about to right a terrible wrong whilst mending a pair of broken hearts. But in the middle of her matchmaking machinations and societal obligations at a weekend countryhouse party, Lady Darling stumbles upon a dead body. Once again, she must don her proverbial deerstalker hat, scoop up a magnifying glass, and, in the absence of any sort of competency from Scotland Yard, it s up to her to identify the culprit. A fabulously fun new Victorian-set mystery series that makes the most of [Gleason s] flair for expertly marrying cleverly crafted, dryly witty plots with an exuberantly engaging, marvelously original cast of characters.
